"The gameplay is rather simple: just watch the notes come from the background to the foreground, then tap them exactly as they hit the line. Difficulty can be adjusted in the traditional way (Easy, Normal, and Hard modes), and also by selecting the note speed before jumping into a song. It doesn’t have the flashy videos of Hatsune Miku or Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, but when you’re an indie phone port, eh, I’d say you’re okay without them. Such things would also go against Deemo‘s simplistic, less-is-more style." -PSLS
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Despite its somewhat anaemic lineup of backwards-compatible titles (unusual in light of the genre’s strong pedigree on Sony consoles), Vita’s selection of rhythm games is highly impressive in the modern market with genre favourites like DJMax, Hatsune Miku and Taiko no Tatsujin all present and plenty of quirky oddities like Deemo, Love Live & Persona thrown in for good measure. You’re definitely going to need to try your hand at importing to get the most of the genre here, but that shouldn’t be an issue thanks to region-free hardware and easy-to-grasp gameplay."
Limited physical editions of Double Fine Productions’ Broken Age (PS Vita/PS4) and PM Studios’ Deemo: The Last Recital (PS Vita) will be available today exclusively via Limited Run Games.
Hardcore Gamer: Originally released for mobile devices, this touch-based rhythm game makes the transition to Vita mostly intact. Of course, this leaves gamers with questions as to whether they even need to snap the game up on Vita or can instead opt for its original incarnation, especially if their Vita is currently covered in dust.
I don't even want to read the review anymore after a lead up like "vita is covered in dust bkoz no gamez har har". At least use google before you write or smth, nearly not everyone is playing multiplatform on pc or ps4.
The song "Dream" from this game is nice. I feel like I kind of want to listen to it while ice skating or something.
Please, rhythm genre. Please make a comeback.
The Vita is getting a lot of rhythm games from Miku, to I/O, to Idol Master, this looks like a nice addition to the growing genre. It looks cute, has some beautiful music & seems easy to play.
I'm playing deemo on my smartphone right now. if this goes to the Vita, this will surely be a sure buy! Love the game.. I like "Wings of Piano".
